Pipette tip reuse with solvent-based washing methods significantly reduces plastic waste and maintains analysis quality.
EtOH : H2O (50:50, v/v) was the optimal solution for cleaning, achieving effective sterilization without compromising performance.
The approach promotes sustainability within laboratories while ensuring reliability in trace contaminant detection.
Further validation in diverse laboratory settings is essential to confirm its broader applicability and effectiveness.

Implication

Observation shows solvent-based washing improves cleaning of pipette tips, suggesting reduced plastic waste.

Abstract

This study shows that solvent-based washing enables safe pipette tip reuse for trace chemical analysis, with EtOH : H 2 O (50 : 50, v/v) providing the best balance of cleaning, and sustainability, reducing plastic waste without performance loss.
